All of the cars in my family have always accumulated low mileage. I've known my indie mechanic for many years and he advised me some time ago as to my mileage situation. His theory is that systems on cars like mine have to be addressed as one would an airplane, that is attending to certain issues in accordance with time rather than mileage. I address the cooling system, brake system, transmission, etc. and sometimes feel like I'm being silly considering the low miles in between mainainence servicing. But, the cars run well and I've never had the failure of a major system. Sometimes it takes me 4-5 months to accumulate 1500 miles between oil changes, but I change it anyhow.
